Organizing Video Story on Timeline in iClone 6

2015. 7. 11 Hirospot (Personal Site)

TopSample

By using iClone 6, Video Story can be organized on the Timeline in very flexible manner.

Once the traced Dance Motion is applied to the model, Stage, Characters, and Props are freely allocated by the Camera Switch throughout the timeline.

Character movements are realized by the iMotions with the help of Motion Layer Editing.

By using the TTS ON-DEMAND service, each Characters can speak by the different voices.

This report is a record of practice for making a very simple Story with Dance Music & Characters Action in iClone 6.
